Lib Dem Pre-Manifesto 10 point Plan - Debate post

I have put the 10 point plan in the sidebar (blogroll). I have also copied it below. If we find that there is a particular debate about any specific item then I will put in a specific entry for that.

    Top ten reasons to vote Liberal Democrat
  • Put patients first - free doctors and nurses from Whitehall meddling.
  • Free personal care when you need it – no one forced to sell their home to pay for care.
  • No tuition fees, no top-up fees – university affordable for every student.
  • More investment in children’s early years – spend the £1 billion Child Trust Fund money when it matters most.
  • 10,000 more police on the streets – cutting crime and the fear of crime.
  • £25 more on the pension every week at 75 – a million pensioners off means-testing.
  • Free off-peak local transport – for all pensioners and disabled people.
  • Axe the Council Tax – Local Income Tax is both fair and affordable.
  • We should not have gone to war in Iraq – it’s time to restore trust in the Government.
  • Take the environment seriously - cut pollution, cut congestion, and boost renewable energy.

These are taken from the printed version of the pre-manifesto document. For more details, see the full document and conference motion (links above).

There is a quotation ( Which sadly does not appear to be a true quotation ) We trained hard . . . but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we would be reorganized. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization. But has to have been originated by someone. The web link shown goes through the derivation which appears to be more linked to an anonymous British Soldier WW2 than any Roman or Greek General called by a name perming 2 out of (Gaius, Galus, Petronius and Arbiter).
